of Dixmont, were burned Monday ithe 10Th.
The fire originated by some children setting
fire to a quantity of straw near the barn.
Thirty tons of hay, some straw and two hogs
were burned. Mr.. Fletcher was at Newport
at the time of the fire. The loss is estimated
at from 200 to 81 400; no insurance. The
old Union church, an ancient landmark al

lumber, some of which is of an excellent
qlality of pine, is to be used in the erection
of new house.

L
Henry Watterson thus writes to
his paper:
Yet / mourn for this noble old
nwealth-mother Of States
and of Presidents-which once gave
laws to the country and dictated pol.
icies to parties, and whose people
are yet the most simple-hearted, gen.
erous and brave of all the sons of
men-the only people on earth of
whom it can be truthfully said that
they are more enterprising in their
hospitality than in their business.
/ take off my hat to Virginia, sa-
lutte her and mourn for her. Never
had she public men so short-sighted.
Never had she a press so delinquent
and weak. Would that she could
recover one hour of the days of Hun.
ter and Richie. Even the ghosts OF
Wise and Pryor were better than
these living effigies of mediocrity,
which thirty years ago she would
not have deemed fit to tie her shoe
string.
States have their rise and fall no
less than men, and Virginia, having
stated herself with honor and fame,
has gone to sleep, leaving only bats
and owls to watch over her through
the night.

At last public sentiment is being
aroused in the south to the infamies
OF the convict lease S, stem. The
very stones ought to rise up and re-
buke the people of some of the south
ern states for the abuses that have
been permitted of the convicts by
lessees, who hold high social and, in
some instances, high political posi-.
tions. Men have grown rich out of
these leases, and every dollar of their
ill-gotten wealth is marked with
blood more cruelty shed than any
ever spilled BY slave trader or buc-
cancer. Most of those classes were
coarse and ignorant, without the ed.
ucation, association,or religion which
teaches humanity; but some of these

POETRY.
STRENGTH in SUFFERING.

Each weary heart that sorrow fills
With some Overwhelming woe,
Reaps with his own unnumbered ills,
The tears that others SOW.
While sadness cumbers day by day,
And weary hours grow long,
Bright hope shall light the clouded way
Then suffer and grow strong.
Yes! Strong in suffering, strong in hope
Strong hearts by conscience led,
'Gainst every bitter sin can cope
That rears its vicious head :
Bright germs of hope surround each heart
The sunshine and the dew,
Regardless of Affections smart
Then suffer and be true.
In the red battlefield of life,
Its turbulence and din,
In every scene in human strife.
Temptation, sorrow, sin,
That brings chill pailor to the face,
That mars domestic light,
And smothers every tender grace
Still suffer and be right.
Refined by suffering, overwhelmed
With thine and other 3 cares
Be true, be brave, be armed and helm q
'Gainst current. wiles and snares
Proud in thy strength, heroic pride
Can every i'll endure,
Though in temptation doubly tried,
Then suffer and be pure.

CLEVELAND AND THE IMPORTING

Free raw material is the policy of

means ruin for five Southern
States.
No money for the Improvement of

policy of New York and her President
Mr.. Cleveland. This is ruin for the
commerce of the great West.
The tax on tobacco is the policy
fof New York and her President, Mr..
Cleveland. 1t is not the policy Of
the tobacco growing States.
Silver and silver coinage Is the
policy Of the South and West. 1t is
not the policy OF Mr.. Cleveland and
the bankers, brokers, bond-holders,
usurers and money kings of New
York aud the East.
The South is beginning to under
stand the domination OF import
ing New York and the free raw ma
terial policy OF Mr.. Cleveland and
the manufacturing East, and the
sooner they understand it the bet
ter.
| We are the instrument OF all en-
riching New York and the East at
our expense; we are beginning to
see it, and when we lean towards
the economic policy of protective
tariff, particularly on wool, iron, coal,
&c, we are met with FoIakers,
Shermans and the like. We will
have none of them. And ! say to
1you, Republicans, pledge yourself
to a heavy tariff on raw material, to
the improvement of our rivers, to
